The other day I got a DVD of Cabaret free with my newspaper. Eight Academy Awards, screamed the cover. Great stuff, I thought. Not see it – should have seen it. Now’s my chance.
My wife and I sat through it and then asked one another, why didn’t we switch it off? It was appalling. Quite honestly I was left thinking that Liza Minelli has not talent other than having a thick enough skin to stand up in public and shout and make a fool of herself. Michael York’s performance was good, but not good enough to carry the film. Just how do people make fortunes and win awards out of producing such rubbish?
